(2) The patient specifically fears showing anxiety symptoms or behaving in some other way that will be embarrassing or humiliating.

(4) The patient realizes that this fear is unreasonable or out of proportion.
(5) The patient either avoids the situation or endures it with severe distress or anxiety.
